i want to do a push button start add on on my car why coz it looks cool. but i want the button to work when the key is on the on position, is this possible, i also have a remote start installed.
so far what i can think of is a relay to work when the switch is on on that way the start circuit will be closed but is it doable?
thanks
D

 

never heard of that being done on a max
DO IT AND MAKE A WRITE UP
im interested in this. Sounds cool

 

Talk to Deusmax, he discovered alot of things about this.

 

I have done this on a car before. You have to find the wiring harness running to your key and run a 12 volt wire to the button and then to the starter wire or just find the starter wire under your dash and run a 12 volt source to the button and then to the starter wire. All pushing the key forward into the start position does is crank the starter and as long as the key is in the running position this should work. BUT i have never done it on this car so it is possible that there is a relay or something else.

 

Should be as simple as quiksilver explained. At least, when i wired one into my Jetta cause my ignition switch was starting to go, I tapped into the starter and then ran a wire to the battery and ran all of that to a switch. Without the key in, the car would try to start, but obviously, without the key in, it got no spark. With the key in and in the "On" position, the push button worked fine.

Try and fine a honda S2000 one. That is a Start/Stop button, so you can push it to turn off the car too - if you wire it correctly. Wire it wrong, and you'll try to start your car again while it's already on

 

i always find these threads funny. cars used to have push button starts. then they incorporated it into the steering column like they all are now. now people want to take it out of there and make it a push button start again. only reason i can think of is some exotics have push button starts...

 

Not only that, but, from what I've read, in order for this mod to work the key has to put in the ignition, turn it to "on" position, then move your hand away and press the button..... .....I guess it's like someone on this org said: "...as long as it looks cool..."

 

so let me get this straight..... you have to put the key in the ignition, move to the "ON" position.....then move the hand and press a button. Hummmmmm, too much work to turn on the car......

 

exactly.

what would really be neat is someone to figure out how to do keyless ignition like the newer nissans do. now THAT would be an interesting/neat/NEW IDEA

 

Yeah but that would require a smart key and a computer to detect it or else someone could break into you car push the button and take off with it
I mean it is possible yo loop the wires and completely remove the key start but then its a hazard. The push button is a neat idea but its mostly just looks. also you would want to run a switch so that the start button could be disabled so that while the car is running no one can push the button on accident and kick the starter over major problems can result there. Girls like to push buttons haha my girl did it in my last car and i was pissed.

 

ok i found this on ebay, looks like a smart key push button system, think it'll work wihtt he maxima?

Thats the ONLY way/reason someone should do this mod. Its plain stupid to go through all that extra work just to press a button instead of fully turn key. if I have to take my key out my pants to assist with starting the car then I might as well do it all the way....

I got sooped for nothing

 

according to the description, that looks like it will work. Who will be the guinea pig?

 

Yea if you gotta put the key in the ignition you may as well turn the thing...

 

Just like transmissions. When autos first came out, everyone was ditching their manuals for autos because they were 'cool'. Fast forward 50 years, it's the opposite.

 

"To operate GTStarter I you must first insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position. GTStarter I has two easily programmable starting options after inserting the key and turning it to the "ON" position1) the engine can be started by either turning the key to the "START" position or by press the GTStarter I "Engine Start" button, or (2) start the engine using the GTStarter I button only.
2) If your vehicle does not have a locking steering column and is a DEDICATED RACE TRACK ONLY RACE VEHICLE you can install GTStarter I and eliminate your ignition key tumbler and replace it with a safety type "ON/OFF" ignition switch. YOU MUST NOT BYPASS THE IGNITION KEY If the vehicle is to be driven on public roadways!!"

fail

basically, get a oem lexus, mercedes, gm etc ( haven't researched this much) passive keyfob and receiver ( thats the keyless part ). and find out how to wire this to the push start button/ ignition and bypass the key alltogether. thats all these kits do anyway

 

thats a good reason

 

Just make sure you can put it back to stock when you get tired of it. You're going to spend time and money to make your car slower to start. I've spent some time with S2000s and the push button start is just a pain.

This mod just sounds like a whole lot of moving your hand back and forth to me.

 

I already spend too much time moving my hand back and forth if you know what i mean...

 

so simple, just run the 2 wires from the collum to a momentary push button , the wires that engage the starter, that way it will only work if the key is on.

 

Kinda like putting the key in the drivers side door and reaching in your pocket to hit the unlock button?

 

Um,

If you already have remote start, most of the work is already done for you. You don't need a separate module. You don't need the key in the ON position to start the car. You don't even need the key in the ignition to start it.

But you will need it to keep the car running, get it into gear, etc.

 

Dude, that's the reason for 90% of the threads here.

 

Pretty much, gotta be retarded if you cant figure it out.

click that for a push button start assembly

 

from what it looks like, you still have to turn key over to "ON" position. I would assume that using any type of start button systems, you will still need to use your key to unlock the steering column which makes the push button start useless IMO.

Unless you remove the lock in which case its just not a smart idea.

 

im not going to use it lol, just thought id post for info

 

Well, you could retrofit a newer model electronic column lock, but that would be expensive, difficult, and potentially dangerous if it happened to lock at speed.

 

I realized that, I wasn't reffering to you personally, just in general.

 

 

yeah, I thought about that exact thing.

I guess anything could be done to work properly, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to do so IMO.

 

Post #22 folks, read it. Get remote start installed. Then take a total of 1!!!! wire and hook it up to a button, and whammo, you have push button start.

 

it would be one heck of a test of your "driving under difficult conditions" skill.

 

Just curious as to why you think it's not a smart idea to bypass the wheel lock?

From my perspective the mechanical wheel lock is a dated, worthless security "feature". All it takes is four car dollys and a flat bed and the system (as well as every other OEM security feature) is defeated.

The tranpsonder bypass is 1000x more secure then the mechanical wheel lock which serves basically no purpose on a modern vehicle.

I have bypassed the mechanical wheel lock in my G35 (recessed the plunger, drilled a hole through it, then pinned it) so I don't have to worry about it. Having a completely keyless pushbutton system is pretty nice, I must admit!

 

sweet, now someone can hotwire your car and steal it.

 

How exactly would they start the car? They could technically crank the starter, but without the key the car won't start.

 

you can jump it, im not going into it but how do you think turbo timers and remote starts work on these cars

 

Turbo timers keep the car on after it has already been started, so OEM security isn't a concern (the key is only checked while cranking)

Remote starts use modules to satisfy the OEM security - they must either have a programmed key physically inside the module already or be programmed using a coded key.

 

I think if you want practicality and functionality you could do a start where you completely remove the key start and replace it with a button. Then make some kind of adapter that you could just stick the key in (like in some saabs near the cup holder) so your car will still need to detect a chip in order to start..

imo

 

You sir, have no idea what you're talking about. Remote starters STILL need a bypass of some sort for the immobilizer.
